LOVE MOM
####################
This is poetry month, but to me every day is a day filled with the challenge
of the next poem. I always wonder what will trigger a poem for today, a look, a scent, a strange feeling on the inside. I never know what will trigger a poem but I live for the thrill of writing one. So I have April's all the time for me to exist is to write poetry and I can't see me doing anything else but what I was bless to do. So below is the starting of poems Day 15 thru 30 and I look forward for each day because it excites me to write. It's like opening a gift not knowing what is inside and the thrill comes when I finally see what it is. Please Read and Enjoy.

DAY 15
APRIL 15, 2008
WORDS
Words spoken so convincingly
And yes they were believed
Truth never went forward
No Care
No Concern
Could you see
Words of a deadly poison
Not words to bring relief
Words so hurtful
And demeaning
Words only brought defeat
Words can bring confusion
Cut deep
And then cut strong
Words are very powerful
So many words spoken wrong
Be careful
Of the words you choose
Aim to lift a person up
Aim to be positive
Draw from a compassionate cup

DAY 16
APRIL 16, 2008
POWER IN YOUR WORDS
Your words should uplift
With spiritual insight
They should show compassion
And set the wrong right
Your words must teach
Build up
And create
Your words should spread love
Never hate
Your words should not
Tear down
Cause confusion and strife
Your words will determine
How others look at your life
Your words will tell
How you stand
And how you walk
Will tell others
If you really
Believe what you talk
What's in your heart
Will come out
Just wait and see
Your darkness
You can't hide
From Allah's family

DAY 17
APRIL 17, 2008
FEAR
Fear will put you
Into a mental cave
Causing all kinds of
Delusional rage
Fear causing us
To put limits on everything
While inside our minds
Pity stands as king
Fear paralyzes
And causes us to react
When we don't have all the facts
Our lives are at a stand still
Have no room to roam
Locked up inside
Our self contained doom
When we fear
There is no trust
And our prayers we just
Cast out like dust
Only faith can move
God Allah's hand
Shake that shackle of fear
And head back
To the promised land
No good thing will be withheld
From you this day
When you take the limits off of God
And learn to trust when you pray

UNSHACKLED MIND
Upon the wings of truth
Your mind will take flight
Soaring high above all doubts
You'll see nothing but the light
Going to fast for others to see
Moving forward in faith
You'll have the victory
No longer will you question
No longer asking why
Your life is in the Father's
hand
No longer afraid to try
We have a shelter for our minds
When on the Straight Path
Our lives we find

DAY 19
APRIL 19, 2008
ASKING WHY
Upon the wings of time
My mind tends
to take flight
Soaring high on
an endless path
Ahead all I see is light
Going so fast
I can't concentrate
Memories flashing by
My thoughts
in one direction
Always asking why
Why the suffering
Why the pain
Why the conflicts
Why so many insane
Why the pot
Why the coke
Why the liquor
Why no hope
We need something
To get us through
To ease life's knocks
And erase the blues
We need a shelter
For our minds
We need to feel peace
We need a sign
Some are on an evil path
Soon to see our Father's wrath
God has been replaced
Man trying to erase
God out of heart and mind
Now that is truly a sign

SORRY
They say sorry didn't do it
But sorry is a start
Especially if it's coming
from a regretful heart
Sorry wasn't the cause
Of troubles in your life
But feeling true remorse
Is on the path of right
Sorry didn't make you
Turn around and run
But coming back to stand up
Is where is has begun
Sorry didn't do it
But sorry is a start
Especially if it's coming
From truly repentant heart

DAY 21
APRIL 21, 2008
I HEAR THEM CALLING
I hear them calling
Hold on don't give in
Don't let them have it
You are free within
Bound on the outside
Freedom inside your soul
They might wound you
Mental shackles can not hold
Hold on
I hear them calling
Give up what you know
The Ancients can't help you
So just let them go
Freedom run deep
Inside the spirit of your mind
Chains can bind up
The knowledge
You can't leave behind
I hear them calling
Forsake the God you knew
Take up serving ours
You God don't love you
I hear them calling
The Ancient Spirits of the past
Telling us to hold on
These chains won't last
Keep the hymns moving
Deep inside you soul
Sing them to the young
Repeat them to the old
I hear them calling
Come back to the God you knew
Come back to the Ancient
For they are waiting for you

Day 22
April 22, 2008
What Really Matters
Looking across
The endless sky
No longer asking
The question why
life is intact
Mind is strong
I'm on that Straight Path
And I know where I belong
Got the strength
Of the Ancient Ones
Flowing through my spirit
Truth echoing
Calling
In the stillness
I can hear it
Distant drums
Pounding out the signs
Giving me directions
Steady
My life now in rhyme
Truth reaching
None can stop
Stirring on the inside
Reaching now for the top
Answers within
Edging me to come
Finally I'm reaching
For the promised One

DAY 23
APRIL 23, 2008
ARE YOU READY TO HEAR
They say
The truth is out there
What truth do you mean
The truth that we came from
Kings and Queens
The truth that Asiatics
Were from the beginning
Strong and fearless
Brave and bold
And always learning
The truth is out there
Do you want to be free
Take the shackles off
You mind
And stop
All of the uncertainty
Mental slavery
Has left us brain dead
Do know who we are
No visions in our head
No dreams of a future
Where we reign supreme
Kings ruling once again
Sisters back
To being the queen
There once was unity
Oh so long ago
Trust in the community
That knew how to survive
And grow
Hate has turned our minds
Strife has left us blind
Jealousy is unkind
Killing each other is a sign
The truth is out there
Can you take it
What will you do
When the truth hits hard
Will you accept it
And start anew

DAY 24
APRIL 24, 2008
HATE
Hate is a disease
That starts within
Eating like a cancer
Nothing can you win
Hate turns you cold
Caring a thing of
The past
Compassion out
The window
Your future is
Your past
Hate runs in cycles
Around and Around
It goes
If you don't
Get rid of it
It infects
From head to toe
Hate makes you mindless
A chip you carry around
Mind thinks irrationally
Nothing about you is sound
Hate is an infection
It starts to eat inside
Will leave a heart cold
Feelings dead
Angry
No longer alive

DAY 25
APRIL 25, 2008
IT HARD TO SAY GOODBYE
It's hard to say goodbye
To one who was so close
Who stood by your side
Who talked to you the most
It's hard to say goodbye
To someone that you love
The fear of not seeing them
Below or up above
Why is it so hard
When you know
Death is not an end
They go on to smoother seas
Where their life starts again
It's so hard to say goodbye
When this earthen vessels
Is no more
But the real you inside
Has gone to another shore
On this plane of manifest
The earth gets really attached
To all things in the physical
Feelings here unmatched
It's hard to say goodbye
When you know
You'll know longer see
The smile
The way the mouth turns
Why does this have to be

I WISH
I wish
My people
Would open
Up their minds
And truly began
To see
That without
A National Name
There really
Nobody
I wish
My people
Would stop
And Look
Around
And see
What's going
On
That they
Don't know
Who they are
And that is just
So wrong
I wish
My people
Would stop
Acting like
Some other
Race
Once Again
Be proud
And stop
All the
Self hate

WHAT WILL IT TAKE
What will it take
To make my people see
That they are now
Living
In mental slavery
What will it take
To wake them up inside
To learn
To know the difference
And freedom's path
Is still alive
What will it take
To stop all
The self hate
And start to love
Who they are
And that we can
Go far
What will it take
To start to trust
To open our minds
Following our
Ancient Ancestors
Is A Must

DAY 28
APRIL 28, 2008
ONCE UPON A TIME AGO
Once upon a time ago
Our Ancestors lost
Their way
Enslaved in a country
Stripped of all they knew
But they never forgot
How to pray
They tried to keep up
Their culture and customs
From the Motherland
They loved
Generations past
And they forgot
The true Message
Was sent from above
Generations of History
They tried to erase away
But they forgot the strength
Of our people was found
In to whom they prayed
So much has been lost
And forgotten
In the attic of Ancient Time
So much needs to come
Back to us quickly
For our people's lives
Are out of rhyme
We must find our way back
To where it all began
We must start taking
Off the mind shackles
And truly learn our
Real history again

DAY 29

A MOTHER'S LOVE
A mother's love transcends time
Age and space
Her love is never ending
She is steadfast
Life to her is never a race
Her love knows no bounderies
Her love is quite unique
She loves unconditionally
And she doesn't know defeat
She is there
When you don't see her
And watches
Her child's every move
She can be angelic in nature
For her words are life
They can heal and soothe
Her arms are always open
To receive one gone astray
Her knees are marked and scared
For that is how she prays
She never gives up
And doesn't give in
When circumstances
Demands a retreat
She's stronger then most
To life she gives a toast
In love she takes
The bitter with the sweet
She comes to her children's defense
When all hell breaks out inside
She'll never say they didn't do
For in her Father's love she resides
Her children are
Her most precious gift
And she'll cherish them
Her whole life long
Their names
She sings constantly
And they play within her heart
Like a song
A Mother's love is awesome
There is nothing you can compare
Sometimes you'll think shes all knowing
For you can sense her presence everywhere

FEELINGS
Feeling afraid
Feeling alone
Feeling defeated
Heart wants to roam
But where can it go
To whom can it plead
Who will really listen
To all my self pitied needs
You can't depend on feelings
Because they come and go
But there is some that
Tend to stay
And makes your heart as
Cold as snow
Some feelings I guess
Are alright
They make you feel a
Tingle inside
They make you feel all
giggly
Then some will make you
Hide
Feelings are not all bad
But some I wish would go away
And only come to visit me
When I kneel and pray

This is the last poem for National Poetry Month and it has been all good. Like I said for a true poet a poem a day is a walk in the park. A true poet always has something to write about and we keep ourselves challenged everyday. Poetry is who we
are. It's what we do and it's as natural as breathing. Read and Enjoy
